I turn off the computer. After dinner I'll use the tablet, so I'll not be able to post the whole list of questions.
So did Rosa have the right country - is it in Belgium?
Yes, it's Belgium. I think now it's a easy guess...17. Is it Belgium? YES
Sorry... I forgot "in"...17. Is it in Belgium? YES
There are a couple choices - let's try this one. Is it Bruges?
Phew!! Rosa's "capital of culture" question worried me a little. Wasn't sure what that meant.

Thank you!
Yeah, I like to make sure I know the exact countries that it is or isn't. Especially, when there is a directional term since different sites classify different places. Though, I think Europe is the most confusing one with different maps breaking down Europe differently.
Yes Rosa! Its human made. 1. Is it in the Northern Hemisphere? YES
2. Is it in Europe? NO
3. Is it in the Eastern Hemisphere? YES
4. Is it in East Asia? NO
5. Is it in Russia? NO
6. Is it human made? YES

Is it in Africa?(On a side note, did you count any African countries as part of the Middle East? Most maps/sites show Egypt as part of the Middle East but some do not and some include other countries too. So I figured, it is better to get clarification.) edit to add to this message so it is all on one page
Yes, its in Africa. And to address your side note - the dividing line for Africa and the Middle East is usually the Suez Canal which basically splits Egypt in half. What I'm thinking of is NOT on the east side of the Suez. 1. Is it in the Northern Hemisphere? YES

And just to clarify the Africa/Middle Eastern thing - I read tons of stuff on it because I knew it would be an issue. And most everything split the two using the Suez canal as I mentioned above.
Whow! It was the first African manufactured I thought...I'd like hosting the next game, if the different time zone is not a problem.
The time zone is not a problem at all!! Go for it!!
